I have worked on this a bit more, fixed a few typos, and clarified some parts. In particular, I added a sentence pointing out that not all 3rd party repos necessarily work with each other. Here is the link again.

If no one has further suggestions for edits, what is the next step to make it official?

How does this phrasing work for yall?
- If the repository has the potential to replace stock packages when
`yum update` is run, it must be disabled by default.
- If the repository is disabled by default, comments must be included
in the repo file to explain why.
That works for me :-)
+1 from me
This seems sane. It also helps protect from components that would not replace, but obsolete other components. _______________________________________________ CentOS-devel mailing list CentOS-devel@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-devel
